Earthquake alert! Is anyone else feeling this?

She didn't come looking for hearing aid advice; she's talking about sensing vibrations. It’s not a sickness. She literally said her senses are just heightened. It'd probably be way better to get answers from the folks over there who actually understand why the earth is shaking and trembling.
The girl is frightened because the ground feels like it is constantly shaking. Can we not simply calm her by explaining that this constant trembling is perfectly normal for the planet? For the Earth, this is a completely healthy, standard state of being.

If you claim to be "deaf," how is it that you still feel your own vibrations through your body and nerves, yet you perceive them as something external?

I prepare it myself. Once it's pressed, it needs to be stored in a dark bottle in a dark place.
It works wonders for the skin, burns, and treating fungal infections.

"But what about the quality of the water used to brew the coffee?" 😁
If we truly understood the sheer volume of pesticides applied during coffee cultivation... even a housefly might be a healthier choice.😍

Seriously, what on earth does using a condom have to do with unwashed hands? 😕
Honestly, you all are just drifting off-topic for the sake of it.

I once heard from a girl who was reading some church newsletter she picked up at a local parish that even IBM can be transmitted through a condom....
Is that actually true, or is it just fear-mongering? I won't get dragged into an argument about it.☕
And where else would you find such news but in a church bulletin? Honestly....☕

Don’t stop at just swimming; if you can manage it, get into rowing as well. You will see significant, tangible results before winter rolls around. 🙂

Cooking pots?
I was reading recently that certain cooking pots from China were just pulled from the shelves because they contain excessive levels of chromium, nickel, and manganese. It’s apparently quite hazardous to your health.

Two minor health issues

Itching can actually be a symptom of liver dysfunction. It could also stem from allergies or fungal skin infections. Honestly, you should probably just go see a doctor.
As for stomach acid, you really need to identify which specific foods are triggering it; taking antacids might soothe the symptoms, but they aren't going to fix the underlying issue.

mistybear18 said:You're being malicious. I simply hate going to the doctor only to be treated poorly like you were—it’s not my fault if that happened to you a few times.
I am not being malicious; rather, you are the one who needs medical attention. What if there is an underlying condition that requires treatment? If there isn't... well, thank God for that, regardless of what anyone tells you.
You’re better off staying on this forum until tonight; then these "expert" doctors of ours can just use telepathy to cure you. ☕
Charity & Fundraising Megathread

I am forwarding an email I received.
We are Sonya and Miljenko Bistrović from Akron. We are the parents of little Luke, born July 4, 2008, without the final part of his intestine or an anal opening (diagnosis: Imperforate Anus). Immediately after birth, our child was transferred from the maternity ward in Akron to the hospital in Chicago, where he underwent an initial procedure to create a stoma (an abdominal opening for bowel movements). This was merely the first of several surgeries, and even then, it was clear this wouldn't be a permanent solution. The surgeons in Chicago warned us that once Luke turns one, he will need to undergo highly complex surgery for intestinal and anal reconstruction. Because this is such a rare diagnosis and our local surgeons lack sufficient experience with these specific procedures, most parents in our situation seek help abroad. Through friends who share a similar fate—since their child was also born with this condition—we made contact with the Buzzi Children's Clinic in Milan, which specializes in these types of operations. They have agreed to take Luke for treatment and are confident in a successful outcome, as they perform these routinely and can guarantee bowel control, something the doctors here in the States could not promise. Two surgeries are expected within a few months. For the first one, we expect a call with a specific date late this year or early next year. The costs for travel, lodging, translators, medical treatment, and follow-up care in Milan far exceed our modest means.
The reality is, besides Luke, we have four other smart, beautiful, and thank God healthy children between the ages of 4 and 14. After finishing college and securing a good job in the US, Miljenko fell seriously ill; due to a brain tumor during his prime years, he had to retire on disability. My profession is chemistry teacher, but I am currently on maternity leave until Luke turns three. Given the dire financial situation we find ourselves in, I considered returning to work after Luke's first birthday, but because of his illness and the specialized care he requires—which a daycare center simply couldn't provide—I cannot do so.
As they say, misfortunes never come alone. Two weeks ago, investors knocked on our door regarding the renovations they performed on our house between 2004 and 2006. While we have managed to settle most of the debt, there is still a balance of $19,000.00 remaining. These investors are now threatening us with lawsuits and liens, demanding full payment by the end of the year. We were counting on those funds, as we have had that amount saved in our account at Ljubljana Bank for years. The attorney handling our case promised he would soon be able to release our frozen funds. However, time is running out, we aren't in a position to take out a loan, and help is nowhere to be found... We face the very real danger that not only our youngest, sickest boy, Luke, but our entire large family, may soon find ourselves without a roof over our heads. As parents, we are doing everything in our power to save what we have fought so hard to pay off, but we cannot do this alone—we need help!
Therefore, we ask all kind-hearted people to help us in this difficult situation according to your means—even if it is just by sharing this email. Attached, we are sending a photo of our little Luke along with some family photos, as well as Luke's discharge papers from the hospital showing the diagnosis. I am also attaching Miljenko's most recent discharge summary (from November 19th of this year) describing his diagnosis, as well as the documentation regarding his disability pension showing the loss of work capacity due to illness. For any additional information, you can reach us at 555-010-462, 555-010-4474, or via email: sbistrovic@gmail.com<https://um.opti...ovic@gmail.com>
If we are ever able to access the money we have saved in Ljubljana Bank, we will gladly use those funds to help many others who might need assistance, just as we do now.
On behalf of our little hero Luke, who will soon be traveling to Milan with his mom for surgery, and on behalf of our entire family, we thank you most sincerely in advance.

Side effects of detoxing?
in Health ·
Pure nonsense!
Every spring, I commit to a cleanse—about ten days of nothing but fresh fruit, vegetables, and juice or tea. I always drop a few pounds, and the post-cleanse energy boost is incredible. As far as my health goes, it generally does me a world of good.

Side effects of detoxing?

A rash can often just be a sign that your body is detoxing. However, if you want to be absolutely certain it isn't something more serious, shouldn't you consult a doctor? It is vital that you stay hydrated by drinking up to two liters of fluid daily. Don't overdo it with tea; you'll find that fresh fruit and vegetable juices—the kind you make yourself—or simply plain water are much better options.
Kate Collins67 said:Honestly, "humanity" is overrated. It's constantly being used as a convenient excuse for all sorts of nonsense.
Take euthanasia, for example. Is it actually humane to end someone's suffering when they specifically ask for it? Or is it more "humane" to let them slowly wither away in unimaginable pain and impossible circumstances?
Because of local moralists and self-proclaimed "humanists," people don't even get to make their own choices anymore...
So, if you're out there selling kale and apples... try practicing some actual humanity next time you head to the market. Don't try to foist rotten fruit and wilted veggies on people. Just throw the bad stuff out—even if it means taking a bit of a hit on your paycheck this month.
I know a vendor at the market who actually lives by those principles. If she finds a bruised apple, she simply tosses it in the bin and keeps the good stuff on display. Her business is booming because everyone trusts her; she sells out every single time and makes a great living.
Speaking of being "human." 🙂
